User safety
General safety rules
• Always keep work area clean
• Pay attention to the risks presented by gas and vapors in the work area.
• Avoid all electrical dangers. Pay attention to the risks of electric shock or
arc flash hazards
• Always bear inmindtheriskof drowning, electrical accidentsandburninjuries
Bilge pumps shall be mounted in accordance with the pump manufacturer
instructions, and in an accessible location to permit servicing and cleaning of the
intake and/or screening.
On boats with an enclosed accommodation compartment, an audible alarm shall be
installed indicting that the bilge water is approaching the maximum bilge water level.
Bulkhead penetrations shall be in accordance with the requirements of ABYC H-2,
Ventilation of Boats Using Gasoline, to minimize the potential for migration of
carbon monoxide from machinery compartments containing gasoline engines to
adjacent accommodation compartments.
Potential electrical sources of ignition located in spaces containing gasoline powered
machinery, or gasoline fuel tank(s), or joint fitting(s), or other connection(s) between
components of a gasoline system, shall be ignition protected, unless the component
is isolated from a gasoline fuel source as described in ABYC E-11.5.3.3.
CAUTION: Read thismanual carefully before installing,using orservicing
this product. Failure to follow the instructions within this manual could
result in explosion, property damage, severe personal injury and/or death.
DANGER: This productis not intended for damage control orto deal with
flooding resulting from hull damage. This product is intended to be used in
Bilge Pumping Systems for small craft with a hull length up to 24 meters, as
described within the introduction and scope of ISO 15083. Bilge Pumping
Systems, as specified in ISO 15083, are limited to normal amounts of water
in an intact boat due to spray, rain, seepage, spillage, and occasional small
amounts of water shifting from boat movements in heavy weather. Use of
product in any other way could result in flooding, catastrophic damage to
craft, serious personal injury, or death.
WARNING: This pump is designed for use with fresh water and salt
water ONLY. Use with any other hazardous, caustic, or corrosive material
could result in damage to the pump and the surrounding environment,
possible exposure to hazardous substances and injury.
Exception:
1. Boats using diesel fuel as the only fuel source.
2. Outboard engines mounted externally or in compartments open to the
atmosphere in accordance with the requirements of ABYC H-2, Ventilation
of Boats Using Gasoline.
The bilge pump inlet shall be located so that excess bilge water can be removed
from the bilge at static floating position, and at maximum conditions created by
the boat’s motion, heel, and trim.
